Access Control Systems

Today’s electronic locks meet your need for monitoring time schedules, audit trails, and knowledge of who has entered or exited your property. Our selection of access control systems can be customized to provide multiple access codes as well as dedicated time zones. Once wired to your network, these controls compile data reports for review/archive.

How do access control systems work?

Access control systems manage access by verifying user credentials through methods like key cards, PIN codes, or biometric scans. Once authenticated, the system grants or denies access based on predefined permissions. Access control maintains an audit trail of access events, integrates with other security systems, and allows remote management through cloud-based solutions, enhancing overall security and control over physical spaces and resources.

Electronic Locks & Access Controls Systems

There are 4 ways in which you typically access control to doors or gates:

 

  1.  What you have; a key, a credential or card, or a fob
  2.  What you know; a combination
  3.  Who you are; biometrics, fingerprint, vein patterns, or hand readers
  4.  A combination of the above
